As someone who has had to watch a close relative become a stranger before my eyes, I think you are talking shit. It's not just about the person, but those around them that suffer too. If Gates' money has produced no results and I'm struck by this horrible disease, I hope someone will put me to sleep.
Before the car arrived, houses were built without driveways or garages. Many survive and owners are forced to part on the road. It's not hard to imagine new houses with purpose build pads (on the roof, maybe?), but this will take along time and older housing stock would be difficult to modify.
This pales in comparison to the other less tractable ones, like maintainance, fail-safety, traffic control, range etc.
With a car you can set off without a reserved parking space at your destination, in the reasonable belief that one will be available. Not so easy with something that flies, and good luck with asking the flying taxi driver (if there is one) to 'drop me on the corner, please.
Not true at all. The computer used by code breakers in WW2, for example, had no assembler. So of course they had programming forms with columns for each bit in the instruction word.
I did something similar in the 1980s for a bit-slice based disk controller. THe cross-assembler that was available as the time ran on a VAX and the company could not afford it.
Never thought of the etymology of that:
Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French salarie, from Latin salarium, originally denoting a Roman soldier's allowance to buy salt, from sal ‘salt’.
Thanks!!
Are you suggesting this is the process to travel to Europe?
This is my experience, I travel 3-4 times a year to Italy.
40 mins drive to airport
10 mins at valet collection - if you shop around this is cheaper than off - airport parking.
30 mins though security.
60 minutes until flight take off -during which time I have breakfast.
90 minutes flight to Verona
10 minutes through passport control
40 mins at car hire - the worst bit - why can't this be streamlined ????
40 minutes drive to destination
I think there's a serious point here... what does the casual space traveller do if caught short in space? Will there be air-locked loos where you can take of the suit safely to pee or crap? Sounds expensive

Ironically I tried to follow the link in the TFA, and guess what .. it's blocked from here
Did you stop taking your meds?

I wonder who got paid ££££ to come to THAT conclusion
Does anyone remember the children's toy Spirograph? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
The game's introduction reminded me of that.
Wrong. The problem is in the Android userland. Nothing to do with Linux

For Russia, it offers "visibility into North Korean network traffic that might help them understand what North Korea is up to."
Surely they won't peek?

Can I have a backstreet Brazilian?
Well, do you, punk?

I pay my dishwasher with salt - rather ironic as that was an important currency, in the past
No they didn't. He committed suicide
I want whatever you've been smoking !!
I stand corrected.
I only remember it becoming widespread in the 1980s.
And the comment about eating an apple made me laugh - thanks!

6 hours door to door
Seriously? He died in 1954!! AIDs appeared in the 1980s
Do tell, how exactly has Europe between 'completely destroyed'? I can't wait to hear the fruits of your paranoia
I think you just proved the Slashdot is an echo chamber

Your definition of stable and mine must be different. There have been quite a lot of Terrorist attacks in Tunisia: https://www.gov.uk/foreign-tra...
